Health and performance issues are easier to understand—and to troubleshoot—when you can use tags to aggregate your data across many overlapping scopes. But while some scopes come directly from your infrastructure, others are constantly evolving to reflect the needs of your product or organization. You can only track your data effectively if you can define—and redefine—your scopes on the fly.

If you’ve ever used Ruby on Rails, you’ve probably come across the concept of concerns.

For many organizations, knowledge management is often considered a technology problem. This is why when they implement knowledge management, the execution is often rendered unsuccessful because the processes and the kind of articles that are created are too complicated for people to use.

The v1.25.0 release of the Netdata Agent delivers on our commitment to make our metrics collection, visualization, and troubleshooting platform more stable and usable.

Let’s jump in and look at each improvement.

When an incident strikes, and every minute spent on root cause analysis delays the time to resolution, the real-world consequences can be dire. Troubleshooting an event requires a certain data set: every metric, at the greatest granularity, in one place, available in real time. Limits on the number or type of metrics, collection frequency, or time to visualization can mean the difference between timely resolution and unacceptable losses in time, money, and productivity.

Today, we are excited to launch our first Netdata Cloud Insights feature, Metric Correlations, developed for discovering underlying issues more quickly and identifying the root cause more efficiently. Read on to learn more about our approach to developing this new feature, how it works, and the many benefits you’ll find incorporating this into your team’s troubleshooting workflow.
